Luxury Tax in NJ?

carl_lazlo · 11-25-2006, 06:00 PM

Is there still a luxury tax in NJ? I was working lease payments on my 335i today with the dealer and I saw him work in an aditional .0004 at some point. He called it a "Luxury Tax" since the car is over 50K.

Is this true?

Thank you, Jon Corzine! -- Yes, it started in July, there is a 0.4 percent add-on for cars that cost more than $45,000 or get less than 19 miles per gallon.

Sure, we all hate taxes, but let's be real, in my g/f's town in NJ the avg 4 bed is easily 800k and the property taxes are around 20k per year. What's another $200 per 50k of car? Not enough to worry about imho. C'mon now, on that Bentley Continental GT we're talking $720 luxury tax.

The luxury tax disappeared years ago here in Illinois.I would check with the Secretary Of State and maybe call 2 dealers and ask for a finance manager to verify if it's still applicable.

How is the tax calculated? DO I just substitute 7.4% for the normal 7% sales tax?
